The nature of my invention relates to windmills; and it consists in the construction and arrangement of parts, as fully set forth in the following description, and particularlypointed out in the claim.

1n the annexed drawings, A refers to arms which radiate from a central block, B, which is placed upon a shaft, 0.

As shown, two of these vanes arein a position against the arms for receiving the full force of the wind, while the remaining two are feathered J The shaft C may connect with any suitable EDSON LANPHEAR.
